I've never tried a pair of his pumps that were comfortable. The boots are nice though Not worth the cost, but very nice.

They aren't designed to be comfortable.That's not the idea .

Interestingly FYI, Louboutins are now considered to be "passé" in the circles within which I move.

Yes, an interesting programme.   CL came across as intelligent, articulate, artistic, original, amiable and surprisingly restrained.   One could imagine him being a good dinner-party guest.   His private life did not appear to be mentioned, not that it was really relevant to the programme.   

 

Whilst most of his creations are artistic - indeed, often works of art - too many of the shoes are extreme in appearance (and I don't mean because of the heel height) and the prices are just ludicrous.   It remains to be seen whether the new wooden wedges ('Loubhutans'??) will catch on at all; they are interesting pieces of ethnically-inspired craftwork but somewhat clumpy.
